Ask for a commuter pass!

Standing in the studio, Matthew glanced at the bow and arrow in his hand, and waited patiently outside a tent, the tent was filming, and he needed to break in directly, because he couldn't see the situation inside the tent, an assistant director wearing headphones stood nearby, waiting for the notice inside, and then gestured to him.

After waiting for a long time, no notice was sent, and the assistant director shrugged his shoulders and made a few lip gestures.

Matthew roughly understands that the role in it is NG.

He lowered his longbow and held it on the ground with one hand, and with the other he skillfully inserted three strangely shaped arrows back into the quiver behind his back.

The sound of Chuck Russell talking to the actors came from inside the tent, and Matthew knew that he wouldn't be able to shoot for a while.

Suddenly, a chair was placed in the back, and the voice of the assistant Mira Wang came from behind, "Take a break, we've been standing for half an hour." ”

Matthew didn't excuse himself, handed the bow to Mira, and sat down in his chair.

It must be false to say that he is not tired, he rushed to the studio to make up before four o'clock this morning, even if the crew equipped the actor with a highly capable makeup artist and assistant makeup artist, it was close to half past eight when he finished the modeling, and then he officially started filming at half past eight, and now more than half an hour has passed, and the first shot has not been completed due to various conditions.

Not only that, but also the equipment on his body, from simple leather armor to bow sacs to long knives, even if you don't count the longbow, it weighs thirty pounds.

Luckily, he'd been weight-bearing off-road, otherwise he would have been out of breath.

Matthew waited for a while, beckoned the assistant director over, and asked, "What's going on inside?"

The assistant director pointed to the tent, "The actor tied to the pillar is always out of order. ”

Matthew nodded, didn't say anything more, and waited with peace of mind.

Although the actor tied to the pillar did not know him, he knew that he was also a client from an angel agency.

Filming soon began again, Mira Wang took the chair, Matthew held the bow and arrows, and was ready to attack again, this time without NG, he quickly saw the gesture of the assistant director, and one of them rushed into the tent, bent the bow and arrows, and the three arrows tied together were immediately shot by him.

Matthew didn't know if this kind of one-string three-arrow archery was real, but he couldn't do it anyway, so the prop master fixed the other two arrows on one arrow at the same time.

Even so, the arrows shot were completely inaccurate, and the prop bow was very soft, and it flew out only about ten meters before it landed on the ground.

However, this does not affect the shooting, such a scene only needs the shot of the character shooting the bow and arrow, and the enemy who dies under the arrow completely depends on the post-editing.

The filming was not over, Matthew dodged a stabbing sword according to the designed routine, and the longbow in his left hand was drawn to the man's head.

Matthew then threw away the longbow, drew the blade at his waist, parryed the slash first, then flew up his big feet, kicked another soldier who rushed up, and then turned and swung the knife, looking extremely dashing, and the actor who wanted to attack from the side fell to the ground with his neck covered, which was no longer a pre-designed routine.

Although there are designed routines, this is a long shot that also requires the actors to play on the spot.

In the early plan of this film, it was to get a PG-13 rating, so there was basically no artificial plasma used in the on-site shooting, and there would be no scenes of severed limbs and blood and brain plasma flying together.

"Ka!" Chuck Russell shouted to stop filming before announcing, "This scene is over!"

Matthew put away his weapon and handed it to Mira Wong in the back, and Chuck Russell walked into the set and said to Matthew, "This action scene is very good. ”

Movement director Tim Madsen was standing next to him, and Matthew simply sold it out, "It's Tim's design that's brilliant. ”

This is not entirely a compliment, Tim Madsen specially combined his physical characteristics, especially the advantages of flexible pace and good coordination, to design this set of action routines that combine agility and strength, which is very suitable for shooting cool action scenes.

During rehearsals, Tim Madsen used to shoot in order to find the shortcomings in the action design so that he could improve it in time, and Matthew thought it worked very well at the time.

After a short break to adjust, the shooting begins again, Matthew has no drama in this scene, it is all action scenes, he faces many enemies, in front of the camera lens, with the actors tied to the pillar as the center, constantly wandering and fighting, under his blade, one actor after another extremely cooperative to the ground to die.

Compared with the previous literary dramas, Matthew's action scenes were filmed quite smoothly, although many of the fight scenes in the back were shot in fragments, often one shot in about ten seconds, but there was rarely NG, and most of the shots were passed once or twice.

"Matthew was very well prepared. ”

In the far corner of the tent, Helen Herman stood with Stephen Sommers and said in between shoots, "If he hadn't had the long-term workouts, it would have been difficult for the shoot to go so smoothly." ”

"Hmm. Stephen Sommers nodded approvingly, "Matthew's dedication is unquestionable, and he has a special talent for action scenes, often through a little bit, and can also be expressed in the most suitable and perfect way." ”

Helen Herman lifted her black-rimmed glasses, "I think he has the potential to be an action superstar. ”

Stephen Sommers was silent at first, then said after a while, "Action movies, especially traditional action movies, have declined. ”

"But the emerging action movie is on the rise. Helen Herman said, "For example, the genre of action plus sci-fi and action plus magic has received a very good response in recent years. ”

Filming restarted without Stephen Sommers speaking and Helen Herman keeping silent.

However, Stephen Sommers kept his eyes on the set, and Matthew Horner did prepare for it, and the next action long shot showed his extreme agility, and he dodged out of the bag of four people, baring his fangs like a deadly viper......

There is no doubt that the performance of this young actor in action scenes can only be described as almost perfect, even if he is present to direct the filming, I am afraid there is no reason not to let it pass.

He couldn't help but think of the super project that was being planned with Universal Pictures, and the currently confirmed actor Van Helsing was a clever and extremely tough monster hunter.

Such a hunter character, who is known as the bravest hunter in mankind, of course, also needs a matching actor.

Aside from fame, Matthew Horner looks like a good fit in other ways.

Stephen Sommers made a decision to include Matthew Horner in the list of candidates, and even as a key object of examination, if this "Scorpion King" can be successful, how can Matthew Horner accumulate some fame, at least become a small star.

And it's also in line with his idea of making Van Helsing younger and cooler.

The filming on the set came to an end for the time being, and after director Chuck Russell shouted to stop, Matthew supported his body with a prop long knife, and his panting sound was a little rough, and the equipment on his body was too heavy, especially after filming for such a long time, close to thirty pounds of equipment, it felt like a hill pressing on his body.

After more than two hours of filming, Chuck Russell could see that Matthew's physical fitness had reached a critical point, and hurriedly ordered loudly, "Stop filming and rest for half an hour!"

Matthew walked to the rest place and sat down on a chair, the stylist immediately came over to help him remove the heavy weapons and leather armor, and unload these heavy burdens, Matthew took the blanket handed by Mira Wang and draped it over his body, and the makeup artist who had been following the shoot came over and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In just a few minutes, from stylists to makeup artists to props masters, three groups of people came to serve him.

This is the male lead, one of the central points on the set!

As long as Matthew wanted to, he could immediately recruit people from any department of the crew.

Of course, Matthew will not let people run around for no reason, his mentality is adjusted very well, even if he becomes the leading actor, he is still as low-key and humble as ever.

As long as others don't get in the way, he won't be stupid enough to rush up and kick people casually.

Taking off his equipment and draped in a blanket, Matthew sat for a while, his breathing gradually calmed down, Mira brought tea, he took it and drank most of it in one gulp, and the physical strength he had lost before was rapidly recovering.

I have to say that the innate conditions of this body in terms of sports are very good, and he can feel it himself, such as the swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat routines when he is trained, and he learns very quickly, far beyond ordinary people.

This is also the most valuable treasure left to him by the previous one.

Matthew had a cup of tea, leaned back in his chair, and was just about to close his eyes to continue his rest when he saw Helen Herman coming over.

"Is there something wrong?" he knew Helen Herman wouldn't have come to him at this time if he was fine.

Helen Herman nodded slightly, and looked at Mira Wang on the other side, Mira Wang was very knowledgeable, and casually found an excuse to stay away from here.

"I just tested Stephen Sommos. Helen Herman clearly doesn't have a general interest in the actor of the big production, "He should have put you on the back list." ”

She advised, "You have to behave well." ”

Matthew looked up at Helen Herman and asked, "Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to say that now?"

Helen Herman was stunned for a moment.

"Are you in a hurry? Matthew looked and guessed, roughly understanding Helen Herman's current state of mind, and reminded, "It's not like you, Helen." ”

Hearing this, Helen Herman was alert, and was silent for a long time, as if thinking about what she had been doing during this time, and after a few minutes she spoke again.

"Thank you. She thanked her earnestly, "Thank you, Matthew." I'm in too much of a hurry. ”

Helen Herman was about to leave, and before leaving, she said, "These things will be talked about after you finish this film, you can concentrate on shooting, and you don't have to think about anything else." ”
